Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called statins. It is used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that builds up in your blood vessels and causes narrowing, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule is a widely prescribed medicine and is regarded as safe for long-term use. It can be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. You can take it at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel ill. However, stopping your medicine may increase your cholesterol levels, making your condition worse and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of the treatment program, which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake, and weight reduction. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat.
Common side effects of this medicine include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you notice any yellowing of your eyes or get repeated or unexplained muscle pains.
This medicine should not be used in conditions such as liver disease. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding women should not take this medicine, as it may harm the developing baby. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.

Benefits of Rosuvas Capsule
In Treatment of High cholesterol
Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood, which prevents fat from building up in the arteries. This keeps blood vessels clear and reduces the risk of heart problems like heart attacks and strokes. It also slightly increases good cholesterol (HDL), which helps remove bad cholesterol from the body.
In Treatment of High triglycerides
Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule lowers triglyceride levels, which are a type of fat in the blood. High triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease and other health issues. By reducing these fats, Rosuvas 10 Sprinkle Capsule helps protect the heart and improves overall blood circulation.
In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
High levels of cholesterol can cause your blood vessels to narrow (atherosclerosis) and put you at risk of having a stroke or heart disease. Lowering the amount of this fat reduces the chances of this happening and helps you remain healthier for longer. Keep taking this medicine even if you feel well.
